Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Miso-Glazed Salmon with Bok Choy.
Step 1
To start, grab a shallow dish and mix together the miso, mirin, sake, brown sugar, and soy sauce until everything is well blended.
Step 2
This savory marinade is the heart of your dish! Next, gently place the salmon fillets into the marinade, turning them to ensure they’re fully coated.
Step 3
For the best flavor, let them marinate at room temperature for about 10 to 15 minutes, or if you have a bit more time, pop them in the fridge for up to 2 days to really deepen those flavors.
Step 4
While the salmon is soaking up all that goodness, position your oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat your broiler.
Step 5
This step is crucial for achieving that perfect char! Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup—trust me, your future self will thank you.
Step 6
Once your salmon is ready, place the fillets on the baking sheet, making sure to save the marinade for later.
Step 7
Now, let’s not forget about the bok choy! Toss the halved bok choy in the leftover marinade, ensuring each piece is nicely coated.
Step 8
Arrange the bok choy right next to the salmon on the baking sheet, creating a beautiful and colorful presentation.
Step 9
Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and broil the salmon and bok choy for about 4 minutes, or until the salmon edges are lightly charred.
Step 10
After that, flip both the salmon and bok choy, and give them a brush with the reserved marinade for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 11
Continue broiling for another 3 minutes, or until the salmon is beautifully browned and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 12
Once done, carefully transfer the salmon to serving plates.
Step 13
For the bok choy, let it cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until it reaches that perfect tender-crisp texture.
Step 14
Serve the vibrant bok choy alongside the salmon, and enjoy a delicious meal that’s not only satisfying but also packed with flavor! This dish is sure to impress, whether it’s a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
Step 15
Happy cooking!.
